Alright...end of five and the Reds weren't able to capitalize on another chance.... I'm starting to get a little worried about this one.

Well, that inning went well.
that top 2 is working out fantastically ... if you are the Reds opponent
I'm sweating at work I'm so upset right now.

It is seriously incredible. I've looked at Taveras' numbers and he has never been this bad. Right now he cannot hit a lick.
Taveras went into a deep slump and is now pressing to the point that he seems entirely lost up there. I disagree with the Reds' approach of just letting him lead off every game. It isn't working.
I won't engage in the ranting against him that goes on on this site, which has become almost entirely devoted to dissing this one player.
But the Reds need to come up with a better idea how to handle Taveras' spot. My view would be to get him to accept an assignment to AAA for a couple of weeks to get going.
Hank Aaron doubles. Oops I mean Matt Diaz.

Maloney is the lefthanded Roger Salkeld.
